Jenson font

Post by fgrzadkowski »

I am editing a book and want to change font to Adobe Jenson. How can I do that? I am new to LaTeX...

[EDIT] I am using MikTex 2.8

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

The easiest way is to use XeLaTeX instead of LaTeX or PdfLaTeX. All you have to do is to add the following code in the Preamble and run xelatex your_file.tex instead of pdflatex your_file.tex (or, in your editor, search for xelatex command; if you're using TeXWorks it's just matter of choosing it from drop-down menu):

Code: Select all

\usepackage{xltxtra}% this will automatically pull two necessary packages: fontspec and xunicode
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Adobe Jenson Pro}
More infos about the usage can be found in fontspec manual. Fontspec allows you to use any font installed on your system, be it true-type or open-type.
